Signature piece for WNCAP benefit

The Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP) benefit auction, Raise Your Hand, is now looking for its 2010 Signature Piece. Any artists wishing to submit a piece for selection should contact Harry Brown, Signature Piece Chair, at 828-252-7489 at the WNCAP office. All piece submissions must be made by July 15.
The Signature Piece selected will be featured in all promotional materials and advertisements created and used for the Raise Your Hand event. The winning artist will also be awarded regional recognition and two premier tickets to the Sept. 25 event. The auction will feature wine selections, dinner packages, vacation trips and gift certificates offering special services in addition to fine art.
Doubletree Hotel in Asheville, near Biltmore Village, will host the benefit auction that features a format new for this year.
“The antics of our Roving Auctioneer and a special wine tasting room for the delicate palate are sure to add to the excitement of a great evening of festivities and fundraising,” said Pam Siekman, event chairperson.
The Western North Carolina AIDS Project has provided HIV/AIDS education, awareness and fundraising through the Raise Your Hand auction for over 20 years. WNCAP also offers case management and other supportive services to those in the area affected by HIV/AIDS.
